Not only am I guilty of genre-blending (see my full blog post at my new website) but also of cover indecision! Above is the cover I've chosen for Amazon Kindle and for print, while below is the one I'm using at Smashwords and their affiliate retailers. Which one do you like more? Have I completely confused people? Am I just mad to genre-blend in the first place?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on how best to choose a cover that portrays a book about a femme fatale turned detective in a fantasy world with magic and steampunk, where the story is basically a mystery combined with a dash of romance and big scoops of action, not to mention a sprinkle of spine-chilling villainy? Now I'm hungry for a banana split.
Anyway, it's too late now. I'm launching my book 3 Feb - Yay! Still I'd like to learn from all my mistakes this time around so I don't repeat them next time. I am open to your words of wisdom...
